Is knob-and-tube wiring a concern in Savage homes?

Knob-and-tube wiring is generally not a concern in Savage, because it was only installed in homes built roughly before 1950, and the overwhelming majority of Savage's housing stock is far newer, with most of the city's growth occurring from the 1990s through the 2010s. Unless you are looking at one of the very few pre-war farmhouses or original village homes, you will not encounter true knob-and-tube. That said, older homes near the original core can have other dated wiring concerns we do watch for, including ungrounded circuits, undersized electrical service, federal-era panels with known reliability issues, aluminum branch wiring in some 1960s-to-1970s construction, and amateur additions made without permits. In the dominant newer subdivisions, electrical systems are modern, but we still check for proper grounding, GFCI and AFCI protection where required, overloaded circuits, and sloppy do-it-yourself work in finished basements. We assess the actual wiring present rather than assume, and we flag any genuine safety hazard clearly.
